CYPRESS : Residents to Pay Less for Street Sweeping
About 650 residents here soon will pay less for street sweeping. But businesses will pay more.
The City Council this week unanimously voted to decrease the street-sweeping rates for residents who live on privately owned streets that are not cleaned by the city to $1 a month.
In addition, businesses will pay as much as $23 a month, depending on how much space they take up along city streets. Those with 300 to 500 feet of street frontage will continue to pay $2.50 a month, while those that measure 9,000 to 10,000 feet will pay $23 a month.
The new rates will be charged on the May utility bills. City officials said they adopted the new rates to appease residents who complained that existing fees were unfair.
